Miss Gordon Cumming reports some
Of the "acute and pithy remarks" Of
the native Christian teachers ut the
Samoan Islands. Among the rest is a
trait of the crabs of the island, which
was brought forward as an illustration
of the commandment to cut off a right
hand or a right foot, or to pluck out
q right eye, rather than to be led into
sin.
One of the teachers told how often
he had watched the mali'O, or land
crab, which by day burrows deep in
soil, but by night hurries down to the
sea to feed and drink.
1t is q wonderous Clearly creature,
and the Samoans declare that il ON its
seaward way, as 1t presses through
the tall grass, it should chance to come
in contact with any filth, which adheres
to its legs, 1t win deliberately wrench
them of, and thus, self-mutilated,
hobbies back to its hole, there to hide
till its legs grow again.
1t is positively affirmed that this
extraordinary crab has been known
thus to wrench of its eight legs in
succession, and then drag itself home
with the greatest difficulty by means Of
its nippers.

"Who's arbuildin' that ere tower?n
queried q Briton who had landed ct
Castle Garden on Monday as he gazed
at the big medieval tower lifting its
tall head far above the tracks Of the
elevated railway and the grass and
bushes Of Battery park.
"Cyrus Field" replied q fellow
countryman, who had been on this side
q few years longer.

THE same man, was the answer.
"And wot is this monument to-" re-
peated the admiring emigrant.
"Oh," answered the Americanized
Englishman, with rather a quizzical
air, this, you know-this is about
where the British gave their last sigh
before they sailed for 'ome at the end
of the Hamerican war, and this ere
building is in memory Of it."
"Hah!' exclaimed the Britisher, s'as
he drew in a gulp of %admiration, two,

place shortly after tho grand review
following the return Of the French
army from the italian campaign. Mar
shall MacNahon had ordered Z sham

Of Magenta for the benefit Of the new
and untried soldiers.
His very best officers led the various
movements in person. The day proved
to DO exceedingly warm. The clouds
which had at first Obscured the sun
were floating OF by q puff which went
with them and the heat poured down
progressively.
In one Of the attacking divisions
were two grizzled, battle-scarred yete-
rans--a sergeant and . cannoneer-
who had helped MacMahon to win his
laurels in the Crimea, and who had
stood stoutly by him in Italy-brave IS
the bravest and true as steel.
These two heroes took 1t into their
heads, when q charge had been ordered,
that they would rest, so they withdrew
and threw themselves down in the
shadow of q hedge, where the watchful
marshal espied them.
"Hai What is thisp" cried the duke,
riding to the spot. "Whatl my braves

Making the Horse Go.

Honest John Blank was for several
years the well known governor of a
New England state. GOV. John had q
brother William, perhaps equally hon.
est, though less well known, who was
a sportsman, and somewhat given to
the cheering cup. On n Of his shoot
ing excursions William and a boon
companion found that their horse did
not trot quite rapidly enough to corre-
spond with their exhilarated notions
of the proper speed, and the compan-
ion fired a charge of bird shot into the
animal to encourage him. The horse
dashed wildly off, the buggy rocking,
hats and parcels flyingin all directions,
and William, ruler Of the storm, shout
ed with delight: ''Shoot i'm aginl shoot
i'm agin! He goes admirably. "-Har-
